COPPERSMITH HERD MANAGEMENT AREA (#900 home)

Picture shows the California/Nevada  border and I finally find the Coppersmith HMA listed under California. Even though the range extends across the border. The lower image is done under a new profile and reading the land assigned users and authorities is very confusing...Just look at the legend and then try to understand how to monitor and count the horses with all those intersecting and overlapping jurisdictions. (they all have different guidelines...)

Please visit the www.blm.gov website and/or FB page and study the maps and reports in regard to the land available for the horses due 1971 protection act, and the remaining horses on thoses lands. Try to take just one area, maybe the one that YOUR horse is from and compare roundup numbers with geographical size and herd size...it is very confusing...here are a couple of pictures from COPPERSMITH HMA, where TG900 comes from. I was hoping to find out how big the HMA is and how many horses are left on it.
